| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Very comfortable, firm seating,even after very long drives. The combination of lumbar support and heat leaves me refreshed after eight- and nine-hour drives. see full Mercedes-Benz E-Class review |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 507-horsepower 6.2L V8 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Lots of room and has adjustments on multicontour seats. see full Mercedes-Benz E-Class review |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
I could fall asleep in this thing. Great seat heaters and adjustability. see full Mercedes-Benz E-Class review |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 302-horsepower 5.0L V8 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
The seat room for front passengers is excellent, and there is still enough room for rear passengers. We had an Acura TL before, and it was far less roomy than the E500. see full Mercedes-Benz E-Class review |

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2006 BMW Z4
| 2006 BMW Z4 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2007 | 2dr Hatch 330-horsepower 3.2L I6 6-speed manual RWD |
Adjustable thigh bolster and seat back bolsters offer great support and the Nappa leather is grippy to prevent sliding around. see full BMW Z4 review |
| 2006 | 2dr Convertible 215-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed manual RWD |
I find the front seat, even heated, to have great lumbar support, my sciatica does not bother me even when I have to use the clutch. Those with long legs are amazed at all the leg room available. see full BMW Z4 review |
| 2005 | 2dr Convertible 184-horsepower 2.5L I6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
enough leg room for a six-footer (unlike the Miata we almost bought) see full BMW Z4 review |

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2007 | 2dr Convertible 215-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
low roof line, long doors make entryb and exit difficult see full BMW Z4 review |
| 2007 | 2dr Hatch 255-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed manual RWD |
There is no rear seat. see full BMW Z4 review |
| 2007 | 2dr Hatch 330-horsepower 3.2L I6 6-speed manual RWD |
I would not recommend the car for EXTREMELY long road trips or the like. Comfort wise, if you used to something that is very plush or soft the car will feel too hard on badly paved roads. see full BMW Z4 review |
